Nakakapagod. Ang kukulit nina Dagger and the other boys. Si Axel lang yata yung matino sa kanila eh.
Pinagluto kami ni manang Linda ng dinner and we all ate together. "Saan ba pwedeng magpractice na may mirror?" Zandra asked.
"Shh! Don't talk while your mouth is full." Sermon ni Becca sa kaniya.
"If you eat too much, you'll get fat."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at napatingin kay Damon. I knew it! He likes Zandra, kaya siya pumayag na sumama kay Dagger.
Usually, he'd stay home and watch animes. Hindi rin siya yung tipong mang-aasar. He usually stays quiet then answer in the most annoying way. Kasi lahat ng sinasabi niya totoo.
"Excuse me? Mabilis ang metabolism ko kahit gaano pa karami ang kainin ko sexy pa rin ako!" Napikon naman itong si Zandra. I sighed.
They keep on arguing hanggang sa mapunta na sa kdrama at anime ang pinag-aawayan nila.
"Mas okay kaya anime! Astig!" Nakisingit naman itong Dagger.
"No! Kdrama's much better, realistic!" Fan rin pala ng kdrama si Lyra?
Kami nalang yata nina Becca, Lucas, and Axel ang tahimik eh. Well, ako lang yata. Kanina pa tingin ng tingin sa akin si Axel tas maya-maya iiwas. He's so weird!
Tinignan ko si Becca pero parang may sarili silang mundo ni Lucas. Oh my god. These people exhausts me.

After hours of practices and awkwardness dahil sa pang-aasar nila sa amin ni Axel, sa wakas at makakatulog na kami.
The boys slept with Kill, and the girls slept with me in my room. I tried to sleep but I don't know why I can't.
Lumabas nalang ako ng kwarto at pumunta sa balcony. I just gazed upon the moon and stars. "Ang ganda noh?"
Napalingon ako sa nagsalita at si Axel pala iyon. Tumango lang ako and smiled. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. It's been a while since I've felt this before.
Bigla nalang humangin at nilamig ako. Nagulat nalang ako nang binalutan niya ako ng jacket niya. "Thanks."
AXEL
Hindi ako makatulog kanina. Hindi ko kasi maalis sa isipan ko si Death. Sobrang lapit namin sa isa't isa kanina. Lagi ko rin siya nahahawakan kasi nga escort ako. This is the best decision I have ever made.
Pumunta ako sa balcony para magpa-antok then I saw Death. It was awkward and quiet. It was just the two of us, alone in this cold night. This is an opportunity that I might never have again. Huminga ako ng malalim at nilakasan ang loob.
"When I was young, I met this girl at the park near our house. She was crying and I told her na mas maganda siya pag hindi na siya umiiyak. But to be honest, she was really beautiful even when she's crying. We became good friends and as a child I told myself, if I'm going to marry someone, it would be her." I sighed.
"Summer ended and we had to go to school. So she gave me this necklace. And I gave her my boombox. Unfortunately, there was an emergency and we had to leave the country because of my sister's sickness. Ako yung taga-bantay niya kaya hindi ako nakakapagsagot sa mga letters niya. As I grew up, I tried to look for her, tell her that she's my first love and apologize for being too late."
Nanatili lamang siyang tahimik as I tell her the story of my childhood. "I was unlucky. Bigla akong nagbago. But then, you came and brought me back to my old self. Akala ko si Bernadette lang ang mamahalin ko pero... Death, I've fallen for you. Simula pa nung unang beses tayo nagkita at nag-away, late ko nang narealize ang mga nararamdaman ko. But now I'm sure, I like you, I love you."
